About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6905 yards
Slope 138
Rating 73.9

The 18 semi-private holes at Pine Forest wind through the tall Summerville pines with numerous live oaks, dogwoods and a lake system thrown in for good measure. With an equal balance of straightaways, doglegs and elevation changes, this course is nicely balanced, with challenges and fun in store for golfers of all levels. Rental clubs and electric carts are available.

At 6,905 yards with a 138-slope rating, Pine Forest lives up to its name, as the course has numerous barriers of tall Summerville pines to cause problems for an errant shot. The Bob Spence design also makes use of water to add to the difficulty of some holes. It's a semi-private course, and they've named each hole, with No. 12 being known as "Little Augusta" while No. 15 is "Wastelands."

Challenging Course, excellent staff, excellent course

I have played rounds in numerous states and courses within. After moving to Charleston permanently, I had a free day to play the course again with a friend. Just as the first time, excellent upkeep, extremely friendly and knowledgeable employees, and a challenge for any amateur or seasoned player; with holes such as mini Augusta leaving a smile on your face. Will for sure be looking into a membership soon!

Pace of Play

I have been playing PF for many years. There was a point in time I did not play it for several years due to conditions. They have improved and have been going back for several years now. There some things about course conditions that just come from being in the low country.

However, the big issue is pace of play. If you are playing after noon, you will have a long round. This was the case for us with a 1:07p time. After 5 hours, we stopped after finishing the 16th hole. As stated, having played there a lot, I knew we were in for a long round when there were 3 groups in front of us on 1 (one on the box and two waiting). We did get up relatively close to our time.
